Individual guests who want to enjoy the beauty, quiet, and isolation of the Crestone mountains can rent cabins throughout the year except during our annual three-month monastic Practice Period (January 9 – April 28), when the Center is closed to the public.

From mid-July through mid-September, group leaders can rent the facilities for group retreats, seminars, workshops and conferences. Retreats in the past have included meditation from different wisdom traditions, yoga, music, dance, bodywork, wilderness expeditions, medicine, and psychotherapy.

Crestone Mountain Zen Center is located on the western slope of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains overlooking the San Luis Valley – one of the most remote and dramatically beautiful areas in North America. Nestled against the rugged 14,000 foot peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and surrounded by 240 acres Piñon Pine and Juniper forest, the beauty and seclusion of our Center is a unique environment for contemplation and inquiry.
